Question

I accidentally deleted a vantage assignment from the D2L gradebook. Vantage still thinks it's grade synced, so I can't add it back. How do I restore a vantage assignment that was deleted from the D2L gradebook?

Solution

When an assignment is added to your D2L Brightspace course from an external learning tool, deleting the assignment from the gradebook does not automatically break the connection to the tool. D2L still considers the item grade synced even if you no longer have the assignment in your gradebook.

Please note that if you have followed the steps to break the tool connection before deleting the assignment from the gradebook, you can use the vantage content picker to grade sync the assignment again. Restoring the assignment within your D2L gradebook will not re-establish the grade sync if the tool connection was broken.

Follow these steps to restore a grade synced assignment to your gradebook.

1. In your D2L Brightspace course, go to Grades to open the gradebook.

In your D2L course, the Grades tab is available in the top navigation menu bar.

2. Go to Manage Grades.

Once you open the Grades tab in your D2L course, you can choose the Manage Grades tab to get to edit options for gradebook items.

3. Click More Actions to open the dropdown menu. Choose View Event Log.

From the Manage Grades page, click the "More Actions" button to open a dropdown menu. On this dropdown menu, choose View Event Log.

4. On the "View Event Log" page, locate the assignment that was deleted. Click Restore to add this assignment back to your gradebook.

On the View Event Log page, locate the assignment you want to restore. Locate the assignment in the Item column. Following the assignment's name, you can click the word "Restore."

After you have restored the assignment, you will see it in your gradebook again. If you want to delete the grade synced assignment from your course, follow the steps to delete a grade synced assignment.
